How To Install SQLite on Fedora 37

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install SQLite on Fedora 37. For those of you who didn’t know, SQLite is a free, lightweight, fast relational database management system contained in a C library. It’s a popular solution for applications that need to use on-disk files formatted as lightweight databases to run efficiently. The software is a popular choice for local/client storage such as web browsers, Android devices, and much more. The list is quite extensive.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of SQLite on a Fedora 37.
